Scientists Create Open Dataset for Studying Concentration
A team of Russian researchers, including scientists from HSE University–St Petersburg, has developed the first open multimodal dataset containing recordings of brain activity, heart function, and video observations to help researchers understand what happens in the human brain during deep concentration. In the future, the dataset could accelerate the development of neural interfaces, rehabilitation technologies, and AI systems. The article has been published in Scientific Data.

‘Science Is Universal-It Knows No Borders
Fuad Aleskerov, Tenured Professor and Director of the International Centre of Decision Choice and Analysis at HSE University, together with his colleagues, has developed methods of network analysis in bibliometrics that have made it possible to identify patterns in the appearance and citation of publications in academic journals, as well as their influence on each other. When one or a number of studies are frequently cited by a wide range of journals, this is an indicator that the research is of high quality. By contrast, extensive cross-citation within a limited group of journals increases the likelihood of identifying a network of predatory publications.

Scientists Propose Method for More Efficient Resource Use in Machine Learning
An international group of researchers, including mathematicians from the AI and Digital Science Institute at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science, has provided a theoretical justification for a simple and computationally efficient method of estimating uncertainty in Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD). The paper has been published on the scientific preprint server arXiv.org and presented at AISTATS 2026.

The Pragmatics of Destiny in Russian and English (towards a description of fundamental cultural concepts)

P. 477–492.
Apresyan V.

This paper deals with the Semantics/Pragmatics distinction in a contrastive ethnolinguistic aspect. I argue for the validity of this distinction based on cross-linguistic data. My claim is that the specificity of the so-called language key words [Wierzbicka 1990:15-17] - linguospecific items particularly representative of a given language speakersђ mentality - is due to pragmatic rather than semantic peculiarities. These pragmatic peculiarities distinguish the key words both from their synonyms within the same language and their counterparts in other languages. The languages under discussion are Russian and English, analyzed within a combined frame of Integral Language Description model [Apresjan 1995:8-238] and Wierzbickaђs ethnolinguistic approach.

Sobolev I., Эпистемология и философия науки 2026 Т. 63 № 2 С. 116–134
This article offers a critical analysis of the classical dichotomy between “what is said” and “what is implicated” in philosophy of language. The author argues that a rigid separation between semantics and pragmatics is insufficient to account for the full spectrum of linguistic meaning. Key examples examined include use-conditional meaning, which is conventional yet affects ...

Juxtapositional vs. possessive-like encoding in Russian specificational constructions
Logvinova N., Russian linguistics 2026 Vol. 50 Article 11
This paper presents the first in-depth corpus-based study of a previously overlooked syntactic variation in Russian: the competition between juxtapositional (Nominative) and possessive-like (Genitive) encoding of the second noun (the term) in specificational constructions (e.g., ponjatie čest’ (notion.NOM honor.NOM) vs. ponjatie česti (notion.NOMhonor.GEN) ‘the notion of honor’). While typological research has established cross-linguistic preferences for one encoding strategy over another, intralinguistic variation ...

Дискриминативная лемматизация сокращений в эпоху LLM
Глазкова А. В., Смаль И. В., Lyashevskaya O. et al., Доклады Российской академии наук. Математика, информатика, процессы управления (ранее - Доклады Академии Наук. Математика) 2025 Т. 527 С. 146–155
This paper presents a study on the effectiveness of discriminative methods for abbreviation lemmatization in Russian texts. Unlike generative approaches, discriminative models select the optimal lemma from a fixed set of candidates, eliminating the risk of generating grammatically incorrect word forms. For the first time in Russian language processing, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of ...

Rubic2: Ensemble Model for Russian Lemmatization
Afanasev I., Glazkova A., Lyashevskaya O. et al., , in: Proceedings of the 10th Workshop on Slavic Natural Language Processing (Slavic NLP 2025).: Association for Computational Linguistics, 2025. P. 157–170.
Pre-trained language models have significantly advanced natural language processing (NLP), particularly in analyzing languages with complex morphological structures. This study addresses lemmatization for the Russian language, the errors in which can critically affect the performance of information retrieval, question answering, and other tasks. We present the results of experiments on generative lemmatization using pre-trained language ...

Transformer-based approaches for lemmatizing abbreviations in Russian texts
Glazkova A., Lyashevskaya O., Morozov D. et al., Journal of Mathematical Sciences 2025 Vol. 546 P. 32–47
This paper addresses the task of lemmatizing abbreviations in the Russian language. Abbreviation lemmatization is particularly challenging, as it involves not only transforming a word into its normal form but also correctly expanding the abbreviation. We explore two approaches to this task, both leveraging large pretrained language models. The first approach is generative, where the ...

Антонимические отношения фразеологических соматизмов английского и немецкого языков (на примере фразеологизмов с семантикой "речевая деятельность")
Maltsev M., Гусева А. Е., Шабанова В. П., Вестник Северного Арктического федерального университета 2022 Т. 22 № 2 С. 87–95
Рассматриваются фразеологизмы английского и немецкого языков с компонентами-соматизмами с учетом одного из аспектов системных парадигматических отношений фразеологических единиц, а именно антонимии. В обоих языках анализируются фразеологизмы, выражающие речевую деятельность человека. Соматические фразеологические единицы - интереснейшее лингвистическое явление, их изучением занимались многие языковеды. Важность и актуальность данного исследования обусловлена необходимостью подробного изучения парадигматических отношений фразеологических единиц ...
